On other occasions the same signalelicits synchronized backward swims or tail-waving.These behaviors are not simply learned responses toa given stimulus. Rather, dolphins are capable ofhigher cognitive functions that may include the useof language and forethought.Which one of the following, if true, most strengthensthe argument?(A) Mammals have some resemblance to oneanother with respect to bodily function andbrain structure.(B) The dolphins often exhibit complex newresponses to the hand signal.(C) The dolphins are given food incentives as partof their training.(D) Dolphins do not interact with humans the waythey interact with one another.(E) Some of the behaviors mentioned areexhibited by dolphins in their natural habitat.

(A) Mammals have some resemblance to one another with respect to bodily function and brain structure. – Incorrect. Out of context. Resemblance in bodily functions and brain structure does not help strengthen the conclusion.(B) The dolphins often exhibit complex new responses to the hand signal. – Correct. This option suggests that Dolphins use their cognitive abilities to perform different actions to the same signal.(C) The dolphins are given food incentives as part of their training. – Incorrect. Irrelevant.(D) Dolphins do not interact with humans the way they interact with one another. – Incorrect. Irrelevant.(E) Some of the behaviors mentioned are exhibited by dolphins in their natural habitat. – Incorrect. Additional fact.
